The driving of the right forearm, in spite of a couple of smaller extensors
in the forearm whose tendons cross the elbow, is primarily driven by the much larger extensors of the upper arm: triceps etc.
I don't know if you can play golf, but you can still extend the elbow if the tendons to the distal extensors are cut.

I love the Deitrick (sorry about the spelling) letters and have watched them many times. They helped me figure out how to hit the ball without over-rotating the torso. Tommy actually says, "What has the lower body done? Absolutely nothing."
That and Bill Melhorn's instruction have improved my timing so that the ball actually goes toward where I want to hit it.

I was dismayed a few pages back when someone said that throwing the hands
al la TT will result in a significant loss of distance. Can this be verified?
Tommy seemed to think it would apply quite a smash to the ball.
